Anonymous Coward User ID: 72370644 United States 08/16/2022 12:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Why the reverse repo rate is so high is likely multi faceted. Only the fed would know who the counter parties are but to discuss we need to know what a reverse repo is. Boiled down its short term nightly repurchase of cash sitting on big bank balance sheets. Big banks can only hold certain amounts due to FDIC regs, plus they generally want to invest that cash in other revenue generating endeavors. My theory is high net worth individuals are sitting on piles of cash instead of equities. This is likely due to extreme market uncertainty. At the same time big banks have the same thought. The profit to be made off of short term interbank lending is not worth the risk. This is where the fed steps in. They are the lender of last resort on short term money in order to keep the market liquid. The questions everyone should be asking, why is the big smart money not in the equities market? Why are banks more comfortable with the fed than potential higher returns elsewhere? Should I be thinking the same thing? |

ZH spotted this in either September or early October and this is never a good thing and is a sure indication of another financial crisis on deck. Good luck everyonw! |

In the past it was always gradual, even with the horrible shit that happened with Bush and Obama. If people need all that cash, it's probably to meet all their new financial needs (inflation). |

User ID: 84002635 Brazil 08/16/2022 03:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's a liquidity problem. Soon banks won't trust other banks to repay, and then shit freezes up. It happened before, remember? Quoting: CaptainMorgan The goal of raising rates is to end too much liquidity in the market. thus tampering inflation down to a reasonable level The problem they are having Is democrats keep printing money to pay for wars for Israel We are in serious shit.. those graphs show that the sharp rise of repos begun much before the inflation surge I'm becoming an expert in identifying bikes'n'boats thanks to GLP |
